Used to think deckbuilders were all the same but Dominion and Star Realms play completely different at the table
Dominion's slower engine building clicked for me after a friend showed me how much faster Star Realms forces you to adapt each turn, and now I keep a copy of both in my bag.

Honestly, have you tried mixing the two playstyles in one session? Like starting with Dominion to build a steady economy then switching to Star Realms for the fast, aggressive push. That combo really opens up how you think about card synergy and timing. I've found it makes both games feel even more strategic once you see how different pacing changes your choices. It’s not just about the deck itself but when you decide to pivot from slow planning to fast reactions.

Are we really overthinking two card games this much?
